Fifm

try it with a bit of zaatar. in either a salad or just sprinkled right on top of the slice. 

Can't be the only one expecting the money shot to be pixelated.  

Nothing better than a good one. Not a bigger kick in the nuts than a bad one. 

My grandfather was a cotton farmer in Toyah (17 miles west of pecos). He always had fields of cantaloupe and several varieties of watermelon. Used to spend my summers there working and playing. Mostly playing... but we’d stop off in a field on breaks and bust a watermelon, eat the heart. Rinse and repeat. 

I’m afraid I’m ruined for life though. Can’t seem to find a watermelon as good as those were. Don’t know if it’s nostalgia or not, but melons today just aren’t as good. 

And yellow meat melons for the f’n win. 

I wouldn’t know because I’m never going to eat a yellow watermelon.

Yellow spot, heavy for size, hollow sounding, brown stem.

I really don't understand the yellow meat love. I have never had one I would describe as particularly sweet.

I tend to prefer the varieties with darker rinds, though if you offer me a Charleston Gray, I am not going to say no.

I grew some golden honeydew melons a couple of years ago, and those were delicious. Hybrids, though, so saving the seeds did nothing for me. I was a little surprised that their genetic descendants were cantaloupe, not honeydew, but then, I'm an amateur gardener, not a botanist.

Give me the yellow meat all day. Grew up on it andlove it.

Speaking of honeydew, do people not generally like it? I love it but none of my friends do at all.

I need to know the reasoning behind this.

I like it if it’s really ripe.

Well, botany would have involved taking a lot of chemistry and math classes that I just really didn't want to mess with. Gardening, on the other hand, is fun and easy.

Those floppy gardener hats are Cool too.

Love yellow meat watermelons. If you can find an Israel cantaloupe do yourself a favor and buy several. The meat is about the same color as an apple and the flavor is 10X that of regular cantaloupes. The only place I have ever found them are at roadside vendors.

Watermelon needs no garnish or condiment to be the best tasting fruit.

Nope. It just needs to be the strawberry.

I'd say green apple is tied with watermelon as the best Jolly Rancher.

I like honeydews but can’t stand regular cantaloupe since I find them to be sickly sweet. However, I do like the Sugar Kiss variety.

Honeydew is like Redheads. They are either 10s or 2s...nothing in between.
